The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of using mobile standing desks to address work-related sedentary behavior for adults working in flexible positions.
University employees ( N = 20) in flexible positions used a mobile standing desk for 8 weeks and completed one focus group. Paired t tests were used to determine differences in workplace behavior. Focus group transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Work-related sitting decreased ( P = 0.010, -45.88 minutes) and standing increased ( P = 0.016, +41.28 minutes). Advantages included mobility, enhanced attention to tasks, and ease of use. Disadvantages included the device's design, built environment barriers, and impact of work/life circumstances.
The mobile standing desk resulted in a decrease in sitting consistent with traditional standing desk-based interventions. Future interventions should consider including goal setting, reminders, feedback, and incentives.
本研究旨在确定使用可移动站立式办公桌来解决灵活岗位成人工作相关久坐行为的可行性。
20 名灵活岗位的大学员工使用可移动站立式办公桌 8 周，并参加了一个焦点小组。采用配对 t 检验来确定工作场所行为的差异。对焦点小组的转录本进行主题分析。
与工作相关的坐姿减少（P=0.010，减少 45.88 分钟），站立时间增加（P=0.016，增加 41.28 分钟）。优点包括移动性、提高对任务的注意力和易用性。缺点包括设备设计、建筑环境障碍以及工作/生活环境的影响。
可移动站立式办公桌的使用导致与传统基于站立式办公桌的干预一致的坐姿减少。未来的干预措施应考虑包括目标设定、提醒、反馈和激励。
